Bold new Miami-based yacht brand Manari Yachts has lifted the veil on its much anticipated first model. Combining effortless style, unrivalled performance and astonishing luxury, the Manari 52 had its world debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 25-29th). 

Interest in the brand was red hot, as yachting cognoscenti sought to get their first glimpse of a boat that promises to redefine standards in the 50-feet segment. From its Loro Piana interior to its 47-knot top speed, the Manari 52 truly stands out as a new benchmark for superyacht quality in its size range.  Exemplifying a design vision that sets the tone for the brand, the Manari 52 insists on exclusivity and enduring taste. And perhaps little wonder, in view of the ambitious group of experienced yachting professionals who are driving the project - in close collaboration with some of the superyacht world’s most respected designers.

Red Yacht Design penned the Manari 52’s sleek lines, infusing the yacht with contemporary elegance and unmistakable presence. The naval architecture was entrusted to Mulder Design, with its decades of performance-driven expertise. And engineering was developed by Eureka Yachts, delivering uncompromising technical standards.

Living at the water’s edge

Manari’s philosophy is simple: time on the water should be unforgettable. That is why the yacht is conceived to seamlessly blend elegant Loro Piana interiors with carefree outdoor living. At anchor, the whole aft end of the boat becomes a spacious swimming and relaxing platform. Steps extend down into the water for easy access and fold-down wings dramatically expand the living area.

A luxurious three-person sunpad reigns supreme over the aft platform, giving way to elegant seating for six around an oval-shaped table in the welcome shade of the hardtop. Upholstery is in a hard-wearing exterior fabric made specially for Manari. An expansive wet bar, grill and fridge have been subtly integrated into this space, providing everything needed for lively entertaining. Each element is crafted to create a welcoming space where leisure and socializing come naturally.

When you want to catch a little more breeze, turn to the sophisticated foredeck lounge which rounds out the exterior entertaining spaces of the boat. Here, a triple sun bed is laid out on the coachroof with clear sightlines out over the bulwarks. Deep, upholstered seating fills the V-shape of the bow around a table that makes the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a sundowner among friends. An awning can easily be rigged here to provide shade.

Cocoon of luxury

Below deck, it is the same story of carefully weighed functionality and exquisite comfort. The finest natural materials from Loro Piana interiors feature throughout the yacht, alongside beautiful, bespoke woods by Tabu and premium Italian leathers. From subtle hardware accents to refined finishing touches, the Manari team selected the very best components during a month-long tour of noted Italian ateliers. It is this attention to detail that defines Manari, ensuring a cohesive expression of craftsmanship throughout.

Descending the companionway from the cockpit, you land in a welcoming lounge area with generous 2.2m headroom - styled in neutral, contemporary tones. Comfortable sofas line the hull, and the lounge is bathed in natural light from the full-length hull window. There’s the option of a large, flush-mounted TV, with a coffee nook and a fridge. The master cabin occupies pride of place forward, where there is room for a semi-island, king-size bed and generous clothes storage. Here is a haven of relaxation for spending nights at anchor in deserted bays or simply taking a nap in the heat of the day. An elegant second double cabin is laid out for guests amidships.

Both cabins have access to a stunning contemporary bathroom, with a spacious walk-in shower. Exclusive fittings, carefully backlit shelving and molded one-piece composite stone surfaces give this space more the ambience of a spa than a yacht.

 
Quick and quiet

Performance sets the Manari 52 apart as a genuine category leader and the design prioritizes four custom pilot seats at the dashboard. Responding instantly to our signature Manari wheel, the advanced Volvo IPS propulsion delivers razor-sharp handling and exhilarating speeds of up to 47 knots, placing the yacht at the forefront of its class worldwide. This is not simply a fast yacht — it is a new reference point for what a 52-footer can be. Besides the intuitive joystick controls that distinguish the IPS system, it is also notable for its quiet, vibration-free operation. Experienced boaters know that quietness is one of the greatest luxuries a motor yacht can offer. Taken alongside the optional Seakeeper gyrostabilizer, it is the clear manifesto for guest comfort which lies at the very heart of Manari’s mission.
